sounds like life to me

so ive been in a funk the last few days...feeling bummed out and stressed...and then i heard this song...and remembered...we all have our issues...and everyone has their own tough times...but whats the point in wasting time moping around about it...when i can be enjoying the sunshine and music and laughter??? there is just too much GOOD to focus my energy on the BAD.

Sounds Like Life To Me, by Darryl Worley

Got a call last night from an old friend's wife, said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon, he's been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skully's and found him at the bar
I say hey man, whats going on, he said I dont know where to start

Sarahs old car's about to fall apart and the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home and the baby's cutting teeth
I didnt get much work this week and i got bills to pay
I said I know this aint what you wanna hear, but its what I'm gonna say

Sounds like life to me, it aint no fantasy
It's just a common case of everyday reality
Man i know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you're caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me

Well his face turned red and he shook his head, he said you dont understand
Three kids and a wife depend on me and I'm just one man
To top it off I just found out that Sarah's two months late
I said hey bartender set us up a round we need to celebrate

Sounds like life to me, plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life.
